Selvage

April 26, 2013

A chicken on the selvage? Love it. Even pink and yellow…a chicken’s a chicken.

I’ve been getting bits and pieces of Wallflowers in the mail. Windham has a “Get to Know Me” post on their blog right now if you want to read more about me that you could ever want to know. If you just look at the pictures I won’t feel bad. 😉

I finished all of my quilts + patterns + proofing (blah) + printing this week. Really I had 3 months to do it and I waited until the last week to do it all. Someday I will not procrastinate.

Just kidding about that last part.

Since most of my things are done I am going to procrastinate make a table runner…just for fun.

Hi! Your fabrics are adorable and I wish I had them just now on my sewing table! Thank you for sharing your lovely story! I love chickens, too and as a little girl always wanted my own chicken. Now I could but there is not time for everything. x Teje

I love the prints in your collection! Can't wait to see what you've made with them. That's funny you said dinner with Martha Stewart. I've always thought it would be a great learning experience to spend a week with her & cook, garden, etc. 🙂 Probably would also hear I'm doing it all wrong, but I would love to learn some of those things from her.

Can't wait for your fabric line to come out. I'm hoping one of my LQS will carry the full line; it looks like there are some great prints for my stash! 🙂

I can't wait for the fabric in September. I love zinnias too! I was a dental assistant before I had kids and became a sahm. I ended up homeschooling them. If you ever need a second pair of eyes to proof read, give a holler. I proof my college age daughter's papers and she had friends asking me to do theirs! Congrats on the first line. I'll be sure to bug my lqs to get it.

It's beautiful, Allison! I'm going to pop over and read the interview. Yours is the first blog I ever read and inspired me to learn to sew and quilt. Where will it be available to purchase online? I will definitely be getting it. I have three daughters so we can certainly use pretty fabric at this house.

Gorgeous fabrics! Can't wait! I can't wait for the book to come out too! There are so many great things to look forward to from you. I love the quilt in the Windham post that looks like circles without actually having curves. Very clever design!

Your style is so clean and refreshing, but not boring in the least! Your patterns and your new fabric lines make me feel like I'm living in a 'contemporary' farm house, within walking distance to a lovely lake. Ahhhhhh……

Siiiighhhh! I am IN LOVE! Congrats on getting your name and chicken on the selvage! What an amazing accomplishment and I'll admit I am just a bit "jeal!" I will continue to sit in background and covet your talent!

I am soo happy for you Allison! Your fabric line and those little chickens on your selvage are so stinking cute! I can't wait until wall flowers becomes available. Can't wait to see what you are creating with it. :o)

Ok…pretty soon I'm going to need a 12 step program for my fabric buying. You are NOT helping me with this. Hahahaha! My mind was racing at all the fun projects I could make with these little creations called 'fabric'. I can see I'll be dreaming I am sitting at my 'Betty Bernina' again tonight. LOL. PS. Love that we're Sisters. Xo Oh, and congratulations! 😉

Hi Allison. Firstly I'd like to thank you for writing such an amazing blog. I stumbled across it a few weeks ago and have gone back and read every single one of your posts and enjoyed every minute of it. You and Ashley (filminthefridge) have inspired me to start my own blog (well sort of – I've written the first post but haven't published it yet as I've not have the weather to take pictures to go with it!)

Secondly may I congratulate you on your fantastic new fabric line. I love every single print and do hope that it will be available here in little old Wales (if not I might have to bite the bullet and make my first online purchase from the US).

Sorry for the super long comment but I'm in love…….with the fabric that is!

Great work on your fabric line Allison!! Cant wait to see your new patterns and I'm working on Seville now. We have chickens too, Rhode Island Reds and Silkies ……and not to complain but sometimes I do feel like the little Red Hen …lol

That must feel incredible, seeing your name and your chicken on the fabric selvages! I really love that big red flower print with the gray background. Good for you; your designs are beautiful! Now to click over and read about you, and/or just look at pictures… 🙂
